WASHINGTON LETTER
WAsHISGroS, DC, May 8, 1887

tFrom Our Regular orrespoaden,)
The event Of the past week was
the visit to Washingto ton of the Queen
o. the Sandwich Islands aud her
suite. All sorts of obsequious at
tentions were paid to her majesty
at the Capital of this great Republic,
for although Kapiolani has the com
plexion of n mulaito and the Egyp
tian cast Of feature, she is royal
parsonage, aud there is only on,
aay to treat visiting royalty in this
country, as well as III any other.
The Queen first called at the
White House, and her visit was re-
turned by Mrs. Cleveland and the
ladies Of the Cabinet in less than two
hours, according to royal etiquette
Then followed good deal of sight
seeing around the city under the
pilotage of a committee Of reception,
dinner at the Hawaiian Legal,
review aud parade of the troops in
her honor, reception of masons ~
her hotel (king Kalskaua, the
Queens husband, is a member Of th'
fraternity, u visit to the circus, an.
other to the races, tri p to the tomt
of Washington on the u. S. Despatch
escorted by all imposing company OF
foreign Diplomats and representa-
tives Of our own Government, and y
banquet at the White House.
The conjunction of royalty and
democracy was especially interest
ing as presented at the State dinner
The President Of nearly sixty mill
ions of freemen led out the consort
Kapiolani, of little more than sixty
thousand people, and sat at one Ell.
of his official board with the duskN
hued Queen on his right and til
duskv princess accompanying her 60
his left. For once, at least, since n.
beginning of his Administration, Mr.
Cleveland found himself nsnked by
two women who could not talk back
to him. Neither of them had sufh-
cient command Of English for gene
raj conversation. At the other end
OF the ia bic sat Mrs. Cleveland anc
Minister Carter, who represents the
little kingdom in the Pacific ocear
to this Government. Mrs. CLEVELAND
laughed gaily as she talked to her
escort, and was evidently enjoying
the Presidents situation while She
was concealed from his view by large
floral decorations in the centre of the
table.
The banquet was most elaboratt
affair, and in perfection Of every .i'
tail was thought to excel any ent-
tsinment given at the Execu,ivr
Mansion during Mr.. Cleveland's oc.
cupancy. The State apartments were
profusely decorated with howers,
among which the Hawaiian colors
were prominent, and the East Room
surpassed the occasion OF the Presi
dents wedding, not in number, per
hsps, but in the selection of ,h,
flowers used.
When visiting the rrrasurr ~
partment Kapiolaui was taken ,lnv
into the subterranean vaults wh'.r,
the money is kept, and seemed T."
take deep interest in the loads of
gold and silver stored away there.
When told how much money she
stood in the midst of, she was filled
with wonder. Sh. left the Capital

SAMOA ISLANDERS.
Where 1t Il Considered q Great Honor t.
Have Red Hair.

Where 1t Il Considered Great Honor t.
| Have Red Hair.
| The inhabitants of the Samoan Isl.
ands, usually called Kanakas, are
very intelligent people, and by far the
best looking of any of the South Sea
Islanders. The men average about
five feet ten inches in height, are erect
and proud in bearing. and have
straight and wcll-rounded limbs. TIE
men all wear clout, or short cloth,
around their waists, which does no,
extend any farther in length than
down to the knees; this clout in most
eases is manufactured from the bark
OF cocOanut trees and called "Lah-
pahlahpah, but since calico and other
light linen materials have been intro
duced many of the men prefer to wear
those. but always choose among
the most picturesque colors. Tatooing
is one of the Samoan's greatest prides.
and every man is Ornamcnted in :,
most artistic style and furnished by
his parents with pair oftotooed knee
breeches. Many of the men wear ear
rings. The color of the Samoans is
of an olive-yellow brown. The nose is
usually straight and not flattened like
that of Malay, and the mouth is large,
with thick lips. The hair is black and
straight. Among the men it Is consid.
cred great honor to have red hair,
and the redder PERSONS hair the
more influence he can command. But
rs nature has furnished the inhabit-
ants of Samoa with Jet black hair the
natives have to look for some other
source in order to be enabled to wear
their choicest red.
Upon my first visit TO Apia, the capi-
tai of the Samoan Islands, in 1878. l
was surprised to see SO many men
walking about with what l at first be-
lieved to be snow-white hair, but upon
closer exa mination l learned that the
natives apply a whitish clay similar to
our whitewash to the hair. This they
use instead of pomade or hair-oil and
apply it in a thick mass until The hair
becomes thoroughly hardened and
white. The men continue this pro-
cess of bleaching their hair until it
loses its former black color and with
time turns to a brownish red. Arather
peculiar taste. but the men feel proud
OF their success 20 color their hair.
Quite often women 90 through the
same performance, but they are COM
PEELED to wear their hair short. rs LONG
hair can not so easily be discolored.
Natives of Samoa, as u rule, regard
work as something unnecessary. and
all the work done on the plantations
owned by Europeans is performed by
kanakas imported from other islands.

SHE SNUBBED THEM ALL

She snubbed them all,
The short the tall,
The sentimental lover;
Their ears and eyes
Shed criticise
And every flaw discover.
With frown and pout
Shed turn about,
Indifferent to duty,
II he who came
Her hand to claim
Was not endowed with beauty.
On wealth and style
Disposed to smile,
All artisans and scholars
She'd quite ignore,
And those who wore
Questionable cOllar&
For confess
Her love OF dress
Had SO imbued this maiden
OF lowly birth,
That OF less worth
Were minds with culture laden.
And though each day
With grave and gay
And learned she might mingie,
With short and tall,
She snubbed them all,
And that is why she's single.
For when she would
Recall the good
And noble she'd rejected,
Their debt they paid
And snubbed the maid,
As might have been expected.
